The higher you climb, the farther you have to fall, right?

That came true for actor Rami Malek Sunday night at the 2019 Academy Awards. Just moments after giving an acceptance speech for his Best Actor award for his role in "Bohemian Rhapsody," Malek took a tumble off the stage.

Malek appeared to be fine, and his Oscar trophy appeared uninjured as well.
